I recently stayed at this hotel, and overall, it was an okay experience. The location was perfect, right in the city center and quiet, which I really appreciated. The rooms were clean, but I found them a bit small and a bit noisy during the week. The service was friendly and supportive, and I enjoyed the breakfast. However, the dining options could be better, as it didn't exceed my expectations. For the price, I think it offers decent value, but there are aspects that could be improved.

The rooms were clean, but they were a bit small and had some noise from the elevator. I also noticed the ventilation wasn't great, leading to a moist feeling if I didn't keep the window open.

The hotel was in a great central location, just a short walk to the cathedral and town center, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms were a bit small but offered good value for the price, although it did get too cold the first night. The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly, which made our stay enjoyable. However, I wish the dining options had extended hours, as they closed too early for our liking.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, thanks to its perfect location near the Oude Markt and my favorite bar. The rooms were tidy and spacious enough for the three of us, which was a plus. The service from the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. However, I found the dining options to be a bit lacking in variety, and the closet space was a bit too basic. Overall, it offered great value for the price.

The hotel has a great central location that's really convenient, but the rooms could use some updates, especially the bathrooms. I was really impressed with the friendly and accommodating staff, which made my stay much more enjoyable. While the dining options were decent, I felt they could be improved. Overall, it’s a good value for money considering the location, but there's room for improvement in the facilities.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is spot on, just a short walk to the conference center and within reach of many attractions. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay more pleasant. However, the noise level in the rooms was quite disruptive, especially at night, which made it hard to relax. Additionally, while the breakfast was included, the options were quite limited and could use a little improvement.

Rooms

The breakfast was part of my deal, but I found it a bit lacking in variety, offering mainly bacon and scrambled eggs every day. I expected a bit more creativity.

I didn't make much use of the facilities, but overall they seemed adequate for what I needed. I wouldn't call them luxurious, but they were functional.
